The factory master code cannot be reprogrammed...however you can program a personal code that is easier to remember. on my 2003 this is the procedure: 1. enter the 5 digit master code. 2. press 1/2 3. enter your own 5 digit code. 4. lock the vehicle. 5. test your new code. I removed the master code from my vehicle so that it can't be copied by the guy at the local car wash or local garage.
If you don't have the keyless entry key, you can buy one on eBay. Make sure it is suitable for the 2001 Alero. I just did for $10. At the dealer it costs $100. You will have to have it programmed by the dealer or by a locksmith (cheaper).
programming 97 Jeep keyless fob This works for the 1997 Grand Cherokee: Sit inside the vehicle with all the doors closed. Place ignition in the OFF position. Open the driver's door. Leave Open. Move the mechanical door lever to the LOCK position. Turn the ignition to the RUN position. Aim the transmitter at the Keyless Entry receiver and press Lock button. Hold for five seconds until the door locks cycle. Turn ignition OFF within 20 seconds.

If you know the original selling dealer, they may have the factory code in their records. If you do not know the original dealer, any Ford dealer can access the factory code in their shop.
If the keyless entry was install from the factory you will have to take it back to the dealer and let them do it for you. If it is aftermarket follow the instruction from the manufacturer.

The keyless entry receiver is under the console - behind the screens it's the temp and compass
Above your rearview mirror there should be a small black 'ball' (extending from the roof of the car). That is your module. If it's not there, I'm not sure if your Jeep has it. You can always refer to the owner's manual (you can snag one from eBay cheap if you don't already have it) or drop by your Jeep dealership to have them find out for you. Hope this helps!
Must be and can only be programmed by and authorized Jeep (this also means Chrysler or Dodge) dealer. Cost around $20.00. Do yourself a favor and take BOTH remotes with you. When they reprogram, both need to be programmed in tandem.
Have to go into body computer with DRB3 to disable horn honk when locking vehicle.
Use the key. The keyless remote only unlocks the doors and doesn't govern how you start the car. If you can't get in the car, try using the ignition key for the door. Sometimes the two are keyed the same. Otherwise, you're going to have to get a new keyfob.
it has to be done by the dealer. =(
You have to program it with a DRB (Scan tool).
It requires the dealer's scan tool.
I had the same problem. Google "keyless entry remote 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee".
The only way to program keyless entry is with a very expensive diagnostic tool called "Launch" or go to nearest dealer for programming.
dealer has to do it with factory scan tool
The keyless entry system must be programmed with an OBD II tool which the dealer or locksmith has. Sorry that this is not the answer your looking for, I didn't want to hear it either.
Check instructions in the users manual.

YOU CAN FINE ALMOST ANY KEYLESS ENTRY ON EBAY AND FOR A GOOD PRICE.. GOOD LUCK.........
It was part of an option package
Sadly this is gonna require a visit to the dealer. Plan on spending $40 or so to get this done. Every Jeep from 1996 or so onward will need a dealer program to get keyless working.
